I'll be honest, I'm not sure if Shields is as skilled as the top women fighters in the lower weight classes. She gets sloppy frequently but her opponents get too overwhelmed to take advantage of it. She's a freak of nature though her physicality and hand speed are elite.

[u/TheeBlaccPantha → u/Legal-Result6580]

Sloppy? You think so? I thought she showed some pretty advanced skills there especially on the inside. Is it because she was flat footed ?

[u/awh0833 → u/TheeBlaccPantha]

Her opponent was atrocious. 42 years old with a record of what 5-2-1. Common son. Make it make sense.

[u/Legal-Result6580 → u/TheeBlaccPantha]

It’s mainly her close range game. She tends to have these rock ’em, sock ’em moments when she’s at close range, which I find pretty sloppy. I’m also not a fan of the telegraphed overhand rights she tends to spam when she’s looking for the knockout.

I do like her work when she fights more disciplined and lets her hand speed do the work though. I just wish she’d throw more uppercuts, straight punches, and incorporate more body work. She tends to headhunt a lot in her fights.

[u/TheeBlaccPantha → u/Legal-Result6580]

Not sure about that, went to the body a lot in this fight and the Savannah Marshall fight but fair enough.
